The plural of bigfoot is bigfoot, not bigfoots.

Ahh, I guess I somehow blindly missed the detail about South Africa. That might well make it more possible to find that as a natural formation.

Roots shaped like an igloo, big enough for 2 people–for this I would have to research types of plant life in South Africa. I would tend to believe that a big foot type creature should be more believeable in africa and most of asia, after all they do have other primates. I would even say south america as well, those howler monkeys can get good sized. I would love to hear more about this.

Dudlow-

A lot of the changes in news reports you mention come from how globalized things have become with the internet. With the kind of communications made possible by the internet a local story can become an international story in hours, if not minutes. Take the Maine Mutant story - years ago it probably would have remained mainly a local story, with perhaps a blurb in some of the regional or national papers. With the internet and digital pictures it became an international story.

This story is probably true because I know that ugly piercing yells and screams are associated with bigfoots, I’ve even heard some of the screams.

Is it me, or does there not seem to be some sort of curious tendency towards BF proliferation over the past decade or so, in terms of an increased number of sightings and a geographic expansion of the locations involved in those sightings?

In fact, there have been unusual out-of-place sightings of all sorts of creatures - cryptids and otherwise - in all sorts of unexpected places.

Perhaps the globally expanded media has taught a new generation what to look for and how to interpret it, as man’s continuing expansion continues to co-opt former wilderness areas.

In addition, a number of large mammal species (in Canada, for example) have increased their numbers significantly and moved into areas in which they haven’t been seen in over a hundred years, such as the cougar, now present throughout the eastern Provinces.

Could all of this be connected to global warming, or are animals simply learning to live along side of man’s unrelenting expansion? Just curious.

Interesting. I find the ‘root formation’ to be an interesting feature. It suggests one of two things to me. The simplest is that this used to be where a large inclusion, such as a rock had been encapsulated by the roots. If this is so, what happened to the object? Second possibility is that someone manipulated the roots into that configuration. Roots would seem an unusual medium for this type of construction, as it implies (in my mind) that they are still living roots. It is much easier, I would think, to use branches and small saplings to construct a shelter.

All this, of course, goes under the assumption this account is factual. In any case, very interesting.
